What happened

B & M Manufacturing Company is recalling certain 2012 model year boat trailers equipped with Carlisle Transport Products brand wheels. The wheels were manufactured with machine dimensions for center caps and steel lug inserts that did not meet required specifications, which means the wheels may not be tightened to the proper torque during mounting. If the wheels are not properly tightened, they could loosen and separate from the trailer, potentially causing a vehicle crash and creating a road hazard.

B & M will notify owners, and authorized dealers will repair or replace the affected wheels at no charge. The recall began on September 19, 2012. Owners of affected trailers should contact B & M Manufacturing Company at 1-573-346-7246.
